Aw, this is quiet and lovely. :)

Thank you :)

That was so sweet! I liked the little brush of angst in the middle with Reichenbach and the lovely domesticity of the final scene, with the watch as a talisman throughout. Heartwarming!

Thank you :)

A watch as a heart metaphor, kept safe though battered here and there. Lovely.

It seems that John understands Sherlock better than he even knows himself. I hope their promises to each other can be kept from now on... although even if they are physically separated again, we know their hearts remain together.

The watch will remind them ;)

Ah, what a wonderful little tale. Loved that they knew each other so well and saw through the other's deflections. Thanks for sharing!
